Jores Okore has revealed he fell asleep during his medical, hours before completing a £4 million move to Aston Villa.

Okore, the Denmark international, was asked to undergo a lengthy scan at a private clinic and drifted off despite the presence of a film crew filming a documentary of his transfer from FC Nordsjaelland.

The 20 year-old has established a burgeoning reputation in his own country and sealed his move to Villa last week, six months after turning down the chance of a move to Chelsea.

And Villa manager Paul Lambert will be hopeful of no further dozy moments as the defender prepares for his debut season in the Premier League.

Okore said: "I just wanted to get the MRI scan done quickly. Boy was I wrong. I was placed in the scanner and started a two-hour session. I have to remain completely quiet.

"I'm listening to the radio and I'm wondering what it will be like. How my new life in Birmingham will be. Will I speak English with a British twang?
